=head1 NAME
Probe::MachineInfo - The great new Probe::MachineInfo!
=cut
$VERSION = '0.11';
1;
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Probe::MachineInfo aims to be a set of collector/probe classes which allow the
extraction of information about the configuration of a machine. For example the
number of CPUs it has and how much memory it has.
This release is really just a taster release of what's to come. The
architecture may change quite a lot. At the moment there is a bit of a Unix
bias because that's the type of operating system that I do almost all of my
real work on. However I also hope to add support for Windows hosts at some
earlyish stage.
Quick summary of what the module does.
Perhaps a little code snippet.
use Probe::MachineInfo;
my $foo = Probe::MachineInfo->new();

=head1 SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
I'll support any platform that I have experience of, or which someone will tell me is compatible with the existing code (e.g. another unix variant) or which someone will give me a patch for and help me test.
